match port intake and heads, larger injectors, larger throttle body, its about balanceing volume in to volume out.

My Dynojet Wideband instructions say to keep it within 30" of the exhaust port...That rules out an H or X pipe.

Dual 3's...Bigger is better. Don't buy into the back pressure myth, these things like and need to breathe. And you're set for any future mods.

EDIT: Unless you go with M1, cam, ported heads etc, and have a way to trim fuel...You don't need bigger injectors. On my Dakota I'm still rich with 24's and my list of mods is a mile long....

You were asking about Turbos...I'm guessing you have big plans, with Dual 3's, you're set for any mod...And Magnum motors like to breathe, and you must breathe out befor you can breathe in.

I started with Dual 2.5's on my Dakota, went dual 3s...Now I'm upgrading to dual 3.5s. Had I planned for the future, I'd be $$$ ahead.

If all your are doing is exhaust, with no future mods, replace the Y-Pipe (no cat), get a better muffler....Call it good.

If planning on future mods, get some mid length headers, not shorties, and dual 3" pipes with an x or H pipe. 3" Magnaflos are some of the least restrictive mufflers out there...you don't need or want back pressure.

EDIT: I forgot Pacesetter makes some long tubes for a Gen II Ram....Maybe someone will chime in.

OK, so I won't make that recommendation any more. I just assumed that getting a reading from only one bank is not optimal for tuning and performance wise. But, of course, unless there is one on each side, and the PCM/tuner can differentiate. The point is mute. Of course, if it's in an H or X, the PCM will at least even things out.

SLP makes a nice set of headers that are not block huggers.
